Lee Johnson, Bristol City boss
Bristol City will make a late decision on Jack Hunt's ability to travel to Birmingham.
The defender has been working since returning from a calf injury and his coach, Lee Johnson, told the club's website that he "could be close", although he plans to give Hunt a match before the age of 23 to improve his form.
Korey Smith remains at something of a comeback after a knee injury – the midfielder is only doing straight-line running exercises at the training. Johnson will watch from the directors room while it serves as a one-touch ban, with badistants Dean Holden and Jamie McAllister serving in the dugout.
